Join us for a social hour, video screening, and community conversation!
After a car crash in her San Antonio, TX community, Yamini Karandikar nominated the incident for the Crash Analysis Studio—a Strong Towns program that seeks to identify design issues that led to the crash and address those to prevent further crashes, rather than merely assigning blame to a driver or person walking. Participating in this process not only led to safer streets in San Antonio, but also brought the community together to address future challenges with a Strong Towns approach.
The video will feature: Yamini Karandikar and Edward Erfurt, head of the Crash Analysis Studio program, will share their journey, insights, and practical strategies for building safer streets and bringing neighbors together around that shared goal. They will delve into the process of crash analysis and how it can be a catalyst for community-led change.
Community discussion to follow with local special guests.
This series is for all Little Rock residents, and especially those who are, or aspire to be, active in community development, transportation/mobility, housing, and city budget decisions.
